I know absolutely nothing about Lula except that i saw someone share a clip on insta of him in celebration kissing a trans woman politician on the cheek and oh my god is that a radical act for a politician in 2026 so lets fucking go
Am I the only one who finds it uncomfortable that it’s considered acceptable for an older man to kiss a younger woman he isn’t related to? Maybe I’m taking the still images out of context, but she doesn’t look happy that he’s touching her in the first image. Seems sexist to me 😭
Maybe that’s part of the point, that he’s treating a trans woman the same way he’d treat any other woman, but men aren’t entitled to women’s bodies just because they’re women. If someone touched me like that, I’d flip out. But she’s in the public eye and can’t do that.
So, like, I’ll be happy that this is progress. Objectively speaking, it is. But on an emotional level, I don’t like it. I don’t like that we’re just taking what we can get and calling it a win. I want to do even better.
